AJB live commentary on NSNA

There's a joke in Shakespeare's Bond https://www.ajb007.co.uk/post/920302/#p920302 about Grace Jones buying Barbara Carrera's outfits to wear in AVTAK. Not far off the truth!

Nicole = Paula

The "your place or mine?" gag worked well on first viewing.

Barbel

Bernie Casey is an excellent Felix.

Gorgeous woman!

Is Barbera Carrerra a trained dancer? She moves as though she is. Esp in the heels she wears. I love how she instinctively jumps when she detonates those "bomb lites" of hers!

Bonds under the bed shoes - My Grandad had those.

Both this and TB are full of them.

No idea, TB2

The piano cue, 'Bond Returns Home' is actually quite catchy... in an otherwise disastrous score.

She was a pretty successful model - she should know how to walk

Kim Basinger looks quite tired around the eyes, despite heavy make-up.

You ain't no kin of Sir Miles, are you?

(Stan Freberg joke, if anyone remembers him)

Bernie Casey is wonderful as Leiter. Right up there wiht the Late David Hedison. The rapport between him and Sir Sean feels real.
Thats a big telescope barrel for staring at the bay!

Shady Tree

Posing as a masseur... shades of the Klaus Hergersheimer ruse?

I love the sharpness of Domino's "Excuse me?"

Barbel

Love the whole bit with Bond and the security man and the "bomb"

Yes, he's near the top of the Leiter list

That makes sense to Me. Esp after Largos "Cut Your Throat" line. This is a Domino who knows her life is not a safe, let alone happy one.

Nice comic framing of the whole sequence.

Barbel

The guy who looks like Dalton playing a machine- too short but otherwise a great resemblance

Shady Tree

Another gunbarrel reference, in the pane to the door into the casino.

Barbel

The "Bloody Mary" lines- straight from Fleming

Shady Tree

Random girls giving Bond surreptitious looks of attraction... nice stuff.

Nice to see a Heavy who is quite elegant in his appearance too.
Neat and tidy - and terrified!

Higgins

That Atari game has not aged well over the years

Shady Tree

The missile shield in the game is yet another gunbarrel reference...

Connery's famed lisp is very evident in this film... much more so than in his earlier Bond films.

I shushpect, er, I suspect dentures may be the reason.

Its annoying, the leading ladies are elegant, beautiful and lithe - yet they are given outfits that look like they are made of pvc ans plastic bags in bits! Especially Fatima. Largo has no idea what formal dressing is about - a twist on Goldfinger's lame Smoking jacket.

Machines that go pew pew pew - the various vintage Arcade games.

"I wouldn't know- I've never lost."

Wonderful line

Machine that goes "Ow!" The Cylon narrated dated Dominaton.
